Commenting on the new mission, vision and values (MVV), WJN managing director, Victoria McKay, writes: “We’ve been working on the MVV behind the scenes for the last 3 or 4 months now. The Board were in agreement that we needed to crystalise the ethos and principles of WJN. We also acknowledged that the rest of the trade would be watching and would also be eager to hear our statement of purpose. We used the process as an opportunity to think about our current strengths as well as our aspirations for the future. We believe that the MVV document will resonate with a lot of women and men within the global jewellery industry.”

“We are the UK’s only professional membership organisation that supports the advancement of women and women’s issues throughout the jewellery sector, through the provision of networking, positive promotion, mentoring, education and inspiration. The launch of our MVV is a moment of clarity for the Women’s Jewellery Network and is the foundation for strategic fundamentals,” McKay concludes.
